Running Start/Programs/Swarm/terminal, I suggest you grab the current
DLLs and swarm.jar from:

  ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/binaries/w32/2.1.1-fixes

say, like so:

cd /tmp
wget ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/binaries/w32/2.1.1-fixes/javaswarm.dll.gz
wget ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/binaries/w32/2.1.1-fixes/libkaffeswarm.dll.gz
wget ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/binaries/w32/2.1.1-fixes/swarm.jar.gz
wget ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/binaries/w32/2.1.1-fixes/kawa.jar.gz
wget ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/binaries/w32/2.1.1-fixes/swarm.dll.gz

Uncompress them:

gunzip javaswarm.dll.gz libkaffeswarm.dll.gz swarm.jar.gz kawa.jar.gz 
swarm.dll.gz

And then copy them into place

cp javaswarm.dll libkaffeswarm.dll swarm.dll /Swarm-2.1.1/bin
cp swarm.jar kawa.jar /Swarm-2.1.1/share/swarm

Then retry your modification.  Swarm 2.1.1 wasn't tested much
with Windows 2k, but since then I use it frequently with Swarm.
